2017 Market Overview ECM 2017 Summary

ECM 2017 Summary

One year has gone by since eccentric US president Donald Trump came into power and the first months of his tenure were anything but dull. Extreme and unsupported views relating to climate change and an increasingly fractious rhetoric with North Korea were just some of the highlights. In the world of financial markets though, 2017 was a year of resounding success, confidence and…bitcoin. The latter dominated headlines in the second half of the year, with numerous banking executives vocalising their fears about its credibility and lack of regulatory framework. The rollercoaster reached an all-time high of over $19,500 in December, with the Chicago Board Options Exchange and the CME Group offering investors futures on the cryptocurrency.

In the UK, Brexit talks continued at a sluggish pace, but there was nothing sluggish about UK markets in 2017. The FTSE 100 and the more UK-focused FTSE 250 closed 2017 in spectacular fashion both having recorded all-time highs. The former gained as much as £141 billion in 2017, whilst the latter, which initially crossed the 20,000 threshold in June, achieved a fresh high of over 20,700. In the US the S&P 500 gained 19.40% and in Germany the Dax rose by 28.21% over the year. This bull market is now the second longest ever; how much further can it run?

perfectinfo.com

There were 77 new listings in the UK in 2017, up 45.28% compared to 2016. Total deal volume increased by 22.96% with value increasing by 59.13%; almost £17.3 billion extra was raised in 2017 than 2016.

Market Analysis

Cashbox Decline Continues

Under every single measure of performance this report collates, the London Stock Exchange (“LSE”) has had a triumphant year. Both the main market and AIM have seen a sizeable increase in deal volume in 2017, recording 30 and 46 additional deals respectively. Transaction value over the year has increased dramatically. Companies listed on the primary market of the LSE have raised an additional £14.86 billion, whilst issuers listed on its junior counterpart have raised a further £2.44 billion compared to 2016; an increase of 60.69% and 51.14% respectively. Averages and medians in both markets have grown, reflecting an appetite on behalf of issuers to take advantage of favourable market conditions and high valuations.

Following the Pre-Emption Group’s publication of a revised statement of principles on 12th March 2015, the use of cashbox structures to raise funds whilst avoiding pre-emption rights has continued to fall. From the 10 deals that were constructed as a cashbox in 2016 (3.02% of total deal volume), only 7 firms used this strategy in 2017 (2.11% of total deal volume).

AIM repeated its performance from 2016 by having higher volumes than main, accounting for 53.07% of all deals. Helped by the Banco Santander rights issue, the main market accounted for 84.49% of total deal value, roughly similar to the 83.67% in 2016.

Once again, the leading sector in 2017 was Financials, accounting for over a third of the total number of deals on the LSE (35.38%). The other two sectors with prominent increases were Consumer Goods (+18.29%) and Industrials (+1.21%). All other sectors recorded a fall from 2016 with noteworthy declines in Utilities (-59.34%), Oil & Gas (-26.54%) and Technology (-13.74%).

AIM recorded a similar performance to 2016, with a roughly even split between the top eight industries. The gap between these sectors continues to fall; in 2016, the difference between Consumer Goods in 8th place and Technology in 1st, was only 8.82%, whereas this year the gap has been reduced to 7.41% (8th Consumer Goods: 7.87%, 1st Industrials: 15.28%). Industrials was the year’s darling, rising from 7th place in 2016 to 1st in 2017, with a 73.15% increase in deal volume. This positive shift was balanced by negative figures in Oil & Gas (-24.44%), Basic Materials (-13.01%), Technology (-12.86%) and Health Care (-11.46%).

IPOs

IPO Boom In 2017, the LSE recorded one of its best performing years this decade both in terms of new listings and the amount of money raised. There was an impressive 73 successful IPOs in 2017 compared to only 48 in 2016, a 52.08% increase. This increase was driven by investment funds, SPACs, real estate companies as well as several international firms. These 73 flotations raised a total of £11.25 billion, a tremendous 109.56% increase compared to the £5.37 billion raised in 2016. The increase in IPO transaction value can partly be explained by the marked increase in the volume of main market listings. Main market IPOs rose from 15 in 2016 to 38 in 2017; a 153.33% increase, whilst the respective increase on AIM was only 6.06%. In terms of value, main market flotations were responsible for 81.37% of the total raised in the UK IPO market. Out of the top five IPOs of 2017, four were announced during the final quarter of the year. Interestingly, the four largest IPOs were by foreign companies, incorporated in Jersey, the British Virgin Islands, Guernsey and Ireland respectively. There were also several companies that pulled their flotations (either in early 2017 or late 2016) that successfully listed in 2017; investing company Tufton Oceanic Assets and global manufacturer of perfectinfo.com

fluid storage, TI Fluid Systems, joined the main market by raising £91 million and £406 million respectively. In the highly unusual case of Bakkavor Group’s IPO, only one week after the company announced its decision to pull its flotation, the company announced it had successfully priced its offering to raise £100 million, thus resurrecting its IPO.

Sector Analysis see page 24 2017’s extraordinary IPO performance can be credited to investing companies, special purpose acquisition vehicles and real estate investment companies, which all form part of the Financials sector; Financials accounted for 47.95% of all IPO volume in 2017 (2016: 27.08%). Health Care, Oil & Gas and Technology underperformed in comparison with their 2016 performance (Health Care: -71.82%, Oil & Gas: -67.12%, Technology: -56.16%).

Whilst over the entirety of 2017 the IPO market flourished, Q4 was a notable anomaly as 8 of the 20 announced IPOs were cancelled or postponed. The amount of pulled IPOs in 2017 surged to 17.05% of announced deals, compared to 9.43% in 2016. These cancelled deals had targeted proceeds of £3.96 billion, which if completed, would have increased the total amount raised through IPOs by 35.2%. The biggest withdrawn IPO was Arqiva Group’s £1.5 billion flotation, with the company stating that, “IPO market uncertainty was not in the interest of the Group’s stakeholders.” Remarkable cancellations in 2017 also included investment company Greensphere, which pulled its US$500 million deal to, “accommodate its key cornerstone investors.”

ECMi Report 2017

Criteria

40

Criteria The minimum deal size for a transaction to be included in this report is £5 million. All figures contained within the document are accurate as of 5th January 2018. Any amendments to transaction sizes and advisory roles after this date have not been recorded. The dataset only includes offerings made within the UK and listed on a London market. A Russian company that issues shares on the MICEX and then admits GDRs to the main market to be issued from time to time against the deposit of shares will not be included. An offering of GDRs of £5m+ within the UK will. The announcement of the transaction must have been made between 01 January 2017 and 31 December 2017. If a deal was announced during this period then it is irrelevant that it was completed outside of the timeframe or is still pending completion. Primary transactions are defined as the issue or sale of shares on a market where the company was previously not listed. This includes placings of new and existing shares, reverse takeovers, and retail offers. IPOs are those primary transactions listed above, excluding vendor placings and reverse takeovers. In order to be classified as an IPO, the deal must involve the issue/sale of shares in exchange for cash. Secondary transactions are defined as the issue or sale of shares on a market where the company is already listed. This includes the above offer types as well as open offers and rights issues. Only formal, bank-led transactions with bookrunners are eligible for rankings. Tables and graphs in this report do not include pulled/lapsed transactions. Transactions not denominated in Pound Sterling have been converted to Pound Sterling using the Bank of England’s exchange rate on the day prior to the announcement of the deal. All sector information is aligned to Industry Classification Benchmark (ICB) sector classifications.

Where a transaction has more than one bookrunning manager, the deal value will be split equally between the number of bookrunners disclosed. All will receive full credit (in terms of volume) for participating. For all other league tables, the full deal value is allotted to each adviser involved. Only legal advisers to the company and the banks as to English law have been recorded. Deals are assigned to banks based on who managed the bookrunning process. Co-managers or other junior syndicate members do not receive credit for deals where there are lead or joint bookrunners disclosed. For this reason, only capital raisings are included in the league tables (no debt for equity swaps, reverse takeovers or vendor placings). Many deals, generally where no formal offer document is printed, do not disclose one or both legal advisers. We have attempted to gather as much missing information as possible by contacting the issuers and financial PR firms, and consulting banks’ and law firms’ websites, however this was not possible for all deals completed in 2017. This should be remembered when analysing the tables. In order to calculate the total transaction size, we use the total number of new shares issued/sold times the issue price, (including any partial or full exercise of an over-allotment or similar option).
